Abstract

This study examined the perception and attitude of degree programme students on PowerPoint utilization during lecture delivery in Akwa Ibom State College of Education. Two research questions and one hypothesis guided the study. The study employed descriptive survey research design with a population of 234 undergraduate degree students admitted in 2018/19 academic session in the Eleven (11) Degree programme. A sample of 120 final year undergraduate students were selected using Sample random sampling techniques. The researcher developed 30-item structured questionnaire for the study. The instrument for data collection was face validated by three experts and the reliability coefficient of .86, .73 and .82 was established using Cronbach's Alpha statistics which shows the instrument was reliable for the study. Mean, Standard deviation and t-test were used for data analysis. The findings of the study revealed positive perception, attitude and no significant difference between male and female undergraduate final-year degree students on the utilization of PowerPoint during lecture delivery. The findings further revealed that while PowerPoint presentations have the potential to enhance engagement, comprehension, and accessibility, they also pose challenges such as the risk of monotony, technical glitches, and potential distractions. The researchers recommended among others that Stakeholders in the College should develop a PowerPoint presentation that emphasize the importance of clear and concise content organization, visually appealing yet uncluttered slides, and effective use of multimedia elements to enhance learning outcomes.
